What does everyone think of manners? And what will manners be like under communism?

    My dad always gets really pissed with me about table manners, but for stupid ones. Making a mess of your food is one thing, but eating with a hat, having elbows on the table and eating of your knife are all terrible according to him. He has the classic boomer brainworm where he was taught something stupid growing up and never questioned it, so now he completely believes it but can't explain why.

        Oh hi dad, didn't know you had Hexbear account. You're just mad because I used your bowler hat to scoop up mashed potatoes

      My mum taught me not to scoop food up with a fork, unless I was only holding a fork (no knife) and I was holding it in my knife had. She would say no shovelling... Fucking wild. Anyway, we make a point of ignoring that rule just to wind her up now.

          Lol, yes. Bless her heart though, she is a good person underneath all her own conditioning. She's moving left. Unlike my stepdad who is liberal poster child
